9:9 All the people were aware 1 of it,
the people of Ephraim and those living in Samaria. 2
Yet with pride and an arrogant attitude, they said, 3
14:26 This is the plan I have devised for the whole earth;
my hand is ready to strike all the nations.” 4
19:8 The fishermen will mourn and lament,
all those who cast a fishhook into the river,
and those who spread out a net on the water’s surface will grieve. 5
24:7 The new wine dries up,
the vines shrivel up,
all those who like to celebrate 6 groan.
24:11 They howl in the streets because of what happened to the wine; 7
all joy turns to sorrow; 8
celebrations disappear from the earth. 9
40:17 All the nations are insignificant before him;
they are regarded as absolutely nothing. 10
66:16 For the Lord judges all humanity 11
with fire and his sword;
the Lord will kill many. 12
1 tn The translation assumes that vv. 9-10 describe the people’s response to a past judgment (v. 8). The perfect is understood as indicating simple past and the vav (ו) is taken as conjunctive. Another option is to take the vav on the perfect as consecutive and translate, “all the people will know.”
